Re:

HotelsbyDay, LLC v. DayUse SAS and DayStay, LLC, Case No. 1:21-cv-07772-RA

Dear Judge Abrams:
This firm represents Defendant DayUse SAS (“DayUse”) in the above-captioned action. We write
jointly with Plaintiff HotelsbyDay, LLC (“Plaintiff”) pursuant to Rules 1.A and 1.D of Your Honor’s individual
practices to update Your Honor on the status of the parties’ November 15, 2022 settlement conference before
Magistrate Judge Aaron and to request limited interim relief concerning discovery and DayUse’s time to
answer the complaint.
Settlement discussions are ongoing, and the parties have scheduled a follow-up conference with
Magistrate Judge Aaron for December 13, 2022 once DayUse has produced initial documentation to Plaintiff
that will inform the settlement negotiations. Accordingly, and as discussed with Magistrate Judge Aaron, the
parties respectfully jointly request that discovery be stayed and that DayUse’s time to file an answer (and
potential counterclaims) be extended during the pendency of the parties’ settlement negotiations. This is
DayUse’s first request for an extension of time to answer, and no other dates will be immediately impacted
given that the first discovery deadline is January 21, 2023. See ECF No. 36. The parties respectfully request
that in the event they are unable to reach a settlement, the Court allow the parties to meet and confer and submit
a revised Case Management Plan.
We thank the Court for its time and attention to this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
Application granted.
SO ORDERED.
